Rumor: Warhawk for PS3 Cancelled

One of the employees working on the title told Rumor Reporter that development on the game "stalled completely" due to "infighting and lack of clear direction" which apparently led to increasing costs, which then caused layoffs and some employees to leave the project altogether.

SCEA has employed a new director, but the game may now become a downloadable game instead of a retail title.

Sony have not made any official announcement yet regarding Warhawk, though they did shoot a brief reply back to Joystiq:

"We haven't made any official announcements regarding Warhawk since last year. At this time, we have nothing new to report regarding this title."

Stay tuned for further updates.

If this game gets cancelled, I am selling my PS3. Cause i pretty much bought PS3 to play games like Warhawk, and Lair and anything that fully utilizes the Sixaxia, and Warhawk, esp the demo of it at E3 06, that game was awesome, but if it gets cancelled, not even Killzone could make me keep this system. But then if Lair is about the same, then i guess itll do, im just really ticked. I was looking soo forward to it, but guess what. No worries, Ive got 360 games to worry about. Mass Effect, Halo 3, BioShock, etc. so im okay for 360, just that PS3, is starting to pisds me off again.

RoadToRuin7055d ago

yeh likely story, this game has been a majority selling point for the ps3, both developer and publisher know it'll bring in a lot of revenue, there's no way it'll be dropped off the retail list!

DJ7055d ago

already shot this rumor down.

"Guys (gals?), just be aware that MANY MANY MANY games- including 90% of the ones I have worked on- go thru growing pains. It's called the creative process. Sometimes those pains are so bad that you don't think you can go on (GOD OF WAR, in my case), sometimes they are not that bad. BUT just because you hear about a game that is (or WAS) struggling thru the process, doesn't mean ANYTHING. That is the process for much of the time. Hell, they KILLED the first draft of HALF LIFE and started again...how many times did they push back ZELDA (which ZELDA? Hell, how about MOST of them)...you REALLY think it was to 'give the game more polish and give gamers the game the deserve'? Well sure it was, but you also never stopped to think that the extra time was needed because the game didn't sail thru the dev. process like butter in the first place?

So just because some disgruntled ex-worker- who thought the game should have been made HIS way- is now getting his 15 minutes by spouting off to some news source, does not mean he is bringing any meat to the table in terms of valid information. It may be TRUE information in terms of a game having been down a tough road, but again- that is par for the course."

marionz7054d ago

that didnt even mention warhawk...

Raist7054d ago

In the original thread on neoGAF, everyone's speaking about Warhawk. Gaffe doesn't give much informations, but he clearly states all those talks about warhawk being cancelled aren't accurate.
Doesn't mean that the game couldn't turn into a downloadable game for the PSN tho.

achira7054d ago

lol, this rumour is bs. take the source and read it again, there is nothing about a cancellation.

gnothe17054d ago

what about blue ray!! this game has to be about 30 gigs, so theres no way you could be downloading from the Playstation network!! unless blueray isnt needed afterall!!

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1835d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991835d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!

Remembering Warhawk – one of the PS3’s first multiplayer must-haves

TSA writes: "For many PS3 owners and members of the TSA community, Warhawk was our first foray into the mesmerising world of online multiplayer. Now, after more than a decade of dogfights, the skies over Eucadia are clear, the game’s two warring factions having called an eternal ceasefire. To put it in less poetic terms, Sony finally pulled the plug on January 31st with the online servers no longer accessible."

I hope we do get a next-gen Warhawk, that would be awesome. Warhawk was so underrated for it's time.

SegaSaturn6692616d ago

This game...my god. What a masterpiece.

mkis0072616d ago

I really enjoyed warhawk on ps3. Hope it isn't dead because of Starhawks average reception.

Knushwood Butt2616d ago

Time just flew by when playing this, and I always had that, 'just one more game, then I quit for the day.' urge.

Spent entire days playing it. Not healthy, but endless fun.

PoSTedUP2616d ago

after a very long hard days work i would come home and drink a few coors light 24 ounces while playing this game on my vita through PSnow, for hours and hours. it made me happy. it is one of those experiences i will never forget.

porkChop2746d ago

A Warhawk remaster or remake would be nice, but we know Sony isn't going to bother.

MONOLITHICIDE2746d ago

I only diagree because please dont say that. We have had zero games like this so far. No MAG, SOCOM, TWISTED METAL etc...

TheSaint2745d ago

I'd kill or die for a MAG 2 on PS4.

Babadook72746d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun2746d ago

Please, for the love of all things gaming, make a Warhawk remaster. I logged on for Warhawk day last year, and promptly got destroyed by ground and air. Some hardcore players still playing today. Warhawk is my favorite MP game ever made, hands down!

Sevir2746d ago

Honestly, Warhawk and the original Resistance was pure multiplayer bliss on PS3 in it's first few years on the market. If they did a ground up remake of Warhawk for PS4 I'd be so happy. In similar to how they did Wipeout Omega collection on PS4

Concertoine2746d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
